    Artest, T-mac, and Yao are not the big three yet. They are going to have to earn that title.

    Brooks = will never be a starter if he makes all those TOs. While he is a scoring threat, he doesn't distribute the ball consistently without TOs and tries to do too much

    Landry = could not defend Odom today. Was torched multiple times by Odom

    Entire team = NO MOTION OFFENSE TODAY. Shots looked laborious, players had a hard time finding the open shooter

    Artest + TMac = 11 POINTS. Whatever

    Hopefully, the Spurs/Hornets will take care of the Lakers during the playoffs so that we wouldn't have to face them.

    Anyone want a detailed breakdown of what happened tonight? We got our asses kicked. That's it.

    It's official, Tracy McGrady is no longer a superstar.

    Yao is the next one in line. How can our star players play soo horribly almost every night? Shouldn't the game be easier for them with Artest? I don't get it... Rockets games are too frustrating to watch.

    I remember early last season when we lost to the 76ers by like 30 points and we all said the season was over, let's try and keep some perspective.

    Very entertaining game, rockets. :mad:

    What's wrong with our "superstars"? They look more like super p*****s.

    I think the rockets big 3 all need out to sit out for 1 month and watch the other teams play and learn to play again.

    Swifty it's not even about that anymore. It's just the way we are playing that's frustration. Sure we can lose this game, we have like what 70 something more games to go. It's that we cannot play like this anymore, this is ugly, and not Rockets basketball. Again like I said, we won't win much and be the "best team in the west" like people said, unless Mr. McGrady shows up. I am a fan of him, just can't stand him right now. If he's really not 100%, go ahead and let him recover, give him a few weeks. We can survive without him, heck we lose with him and win without him anyway.

    Its very discouraging how poorly the starting group played together tonight and throughout the season so far.

    The biggest frustration is how badly the offense has been implemented. When your second team of Head, Brooks, Barry, Landry and Hayes are playing so much better than your starters, there's a problem. I'm sick of watching T-Mac run a pick and roll with 3 players standing around and him settling for the 18 foot fadeaway.

    And Worrell's right, we deserve answers, from Yao and T-Mac about what the heck is going on with them and where their at health wise. I'm hoping for some John McCain-like straight talk from all of them.

    Honestly adding Artest makes it easier for Yao and T-mac but not that easy. Artest struggles on a fast break. I like Artest but I don't know it just seems like this team still makes things hard on themselves.

    Agreed, i should stop calling them the Big Three now, they played nothing like the real big threes, (Pierce, Garnett, Allen).
